INSTALLATION SERVICES

We offer many different options for installation services for the K Swap. Installation can be done in-house at our Chicago location or at your home.  K20 or K24 engine swap labor starts at $2,500.00 as long as there are no internal modifications.  We are able to ship your car to us and back to you or any combination of shipping and you flying in to pick it up to save costs.  If you want to learn about the swap and have a suitable working space, we can come to you.  If you want us to come to you, the buyer is responsible for all flight costs, lodging, other transportation, and required tools listed below. Due to the increased cost of shipping a car many times, it is more financially feasible for us to fly to you. For further information please contact us via the "Contact" tab
